Famous Individuals Who Faced Bankruptcy or Homelessness

Sonja Morgan, a star on ‘The Real Housewives of New York City,’ hit a rough patch financially despite the show’s allure. Her divorce from John Adams Morgan in 2006 sparked a financial downward spiral, necessitating property sales and settlements, including a $6.95 million lawsuit from a failed film project.

Morgan declared bankruptcy in 2010 with debts over $20 million and faced more legal troubles in 2016 with a $300,000 lawsuit. Despite these challenges, her fortune has seen a resurgence, thanks to significant earnings from her television role.
